Yeah, yeah, same old story. Guy has first toaster, now a little older, a little worn.

Ditches it for curvy young trophy toaster. "My old toaster had grown cold," he said. "It no longer gave my bread the warmth it needed."

Did it occur to you that there's more to a long-term relationship than those few minutes of heat in the morning? Oh, sure, the crunch might be gone, but the memories remain. Can't you recall that misty morning sixteen years ago? Feeling a bit down, throwing the bread thoughtlessly into the slots, pushing down the plunge switch without a thought as you stared out at the fog and rain? And then, without complaint, the toaster popped the bread up, browned, crispy, the way you love it. There was jam that morning, and contentment. And now this. Tossed out with the other reminders of your own advancing age, replaced by that pale harlot.

Well, I hope you get your three pounds worth of pleasure from it.

You cad.

So far the old toaster is in a carrier bag in my lounge. I have not got around to disposal yet.

I had to replace the toaster, as the old one died, because life has to go on, and the £3.70 one was the last in stock.

OMG! You have your old friend's body in a plastic bag, waiting to be dumbed in some trash heap?

I'm shocked, shocked... ('cause I stuck my finger in the toaster).

Just be sure you get rid of it before the neighbors notice the smell.

From 1990 and already broken (sorry, dead, deceived, gone, a late toaster)? Rubbish!!

2 weeks ago, we used an electrical sandwich toaster from somewhere in the 1940's, and it still works perfectly. Had one little repair in its lifetime.

Of course, that toaster probably cost a week's pay when it was new. And I'm guessing it hasn't been used daily since the 1940's. It probably wasn't made in China, either.

Sticks' new toaster likely was made in China, or some other low-wage country (at least it would have been here in the USA, not sure how that goes in the UK) and probably cost him less than an hour's pay.

I do like to see old things still in use. That's at least partly why I drive a 1985 car. Not all that old, but older than most.

It's not used daily, but it is been used a lot. It's a waffle maker btw, I was mistaken. And indeed, it cost a lot more than it costs nowadays, relative to your wage. Anyway it's amazing it still works, because nearly 70 years is a LOT.

All I know is that on Friday it stopped working, and I was in need of a toaster all of a sudden.

I have checked and it was made in China for Sainsbury's

As for the neighbours, does anyone know how to make Steak and Kidney pies

Mmmhawawaw

The real question is if the new toaster will help you dispose of the old one.

I can't wait to heat the excuses when it's time to replace the clothes washer.

That was kind of done last year when I got a desk top washing machine

So you'd rather have her on the desk top than on the floor?

Prior to that I was handwashing everything in the bath tub
